O PROCESSO DE BRICOLAGEM PARA INSERÇÃO DA MEDICINA NO DISCURSO BIOPOLÍTICO DO VATICANO (1950-1960): UM EXAME DO EMPREENDEDORISMO DE IDEIAS DO ATOR POLÍTICO KAROL JÓZEF WOJTYŁA.

This article is based on the factual and political premise that ideas are explanatory and causal factors of institutional actions, behaviors and political processes and, within this framework, its general motto is to understand and analyze how beliefs influence the Vatican's institutional positions against bioethical conflicts and, specifically, it aims to examine the political process of formation of the Vatican's biopolitical discourse, between the 1950s and 1960s, initiated by the theologian Karol Wojtyła (Pope John Paul II), who reconstructed and recombined the theological belief in marriage, sexuality and procreation with medicine, to create a new rational, political and legitimate rhetoric, which influenced the drafting of the encyclical Humanae Vitae, published in 1968 by pope Paul VI. The theoretical-analytical model adopted to examine this research object is that of constructivist institutionalism, which is applied in political science and explains that the ideational element and rhetorical skills of political actors can be causal and explanatory factors in the political actions and behaviors of various actors and actors in institutions. The methodology applied refers to a mix of tools, combining case studies with process tracing and content analysis, aimed at identifying and analyzing key political processes, events and social and political contexts, as well as identifying political actors, the production of their ideas and the central categories mobilized in their discourses.
